/**
 * This <code>JMenuItem</code> subclass implements a convenient
 * reflection-based menu item.  When this item is first
 * created, the class of the object specified by the <code>source</code>
 * argument to the constructor is searched for methods that match the
 * string given for the constructor's <code>name</code> argument.
 * The class will be searched for two methods:
 * <ul>
 *  <li><code>on&lt;title&gt;</code>: will be called if the menu itel
 *      is selected.  If this method is not found, the menu item
 *      will appear on the menu but will not enable.</li>
 *  <li><code>enable&lt;title&gt;</code>: will be called before the
 *      menu is shown and the item will enable according to the return
 *      value of this method.  If this method is not found (or if its
 *      return type is not <code>boolean.class</code>) the menu item
 *      will always be enabled.</li>
 * </ul>
